Former LAPD officer goes over the edge


Recommended Posts

It may not have been intentional but it does sound like the cops set it off.

McMahon did not say directly that the tear gas started the blaze and the cause of the fire remained unclear.

Fact is that if Dorner did not hide away in that cabin it would not have been burned and another deputy would still be alive. If anyone is to blame for this it is Dorner.

I am not placing blame, just stating what seems to me to be a fact. The police was entirely right in what they did if they did it for the right reasons.

It does seem that way but as the Sheriff said the cause is yet unclear. I would say it is a 90% chance that the pyrotechnic tear gas caused the fire and I would have to believe Fire expects will get to the bottom of it.

There is no rational comment to your statement.

Pyrotechnic tear gas is well-known to cause fires (it was used in the Waco siege) and it was deployed in a wood cabin, which is obviously more flammable than most buildings. He was surrounded by armed police, so we was unable to leave the cabin, and as far as I'm aware no attempt was made to put out the fire. It's either gross negligence or attempted murder - either way the police are culpable for his death.

He was a wanted fugitive and got exactly what he deserved. In Waco it was injected with a tank. Since this ordeal is over and there will be no further meaningful discussion. Was he killed by the Police--Yes. Would it have made you happy if he escaped and killed say 5 or 6 more people? Like I said there is no rational comment to be made. This is over and I am moving on.

Yep, he got what he deserved. Now the cops can continue doing the **** they were prior to his, and possibly beating more people, but what the hell.

If you listen to all the

, you can clearly hear the cops saying "Burner deployed > we have flames"

Unless teargas is now called "Burner" then this statement is BS

"McMahon said deputies shot pyrotechnic tear gas into the cabin and it erupted in flames"

The fire was started on purpose, they even talk about which walls are engulfed in flames and which exits he might come out from as each wall burns

Thing is, I would have preferred he got caught, not murdered, you know, the very reason people were chasing HIM in the first place? Why is it ok for the cops to murder people, but not him, is all I want to know. Plus why is it ok to shoot first and ask questions later with suspects that are unconfirmed to be Dorner? During this week, you were likely to be shot at for just owning a truck in California.

It is not the job of police officers to act as judge, jury and executioner. The job of police is to apprehend suspects so they can be tried before a court of law. He may well have deserved to die in your opinion but that doesn't give the police the right to kill him.

From CNN:

Audio from a Los Angeles television station captured the sound of someone early in the standoff shouting, "Burn it down ... burn that goddamn house down. Burn it down." It's not clear who used those words.

But the order to use smoke canisters -- "burners" -- didn't come for another two hours, according to San Bernardino County sheriff's radio traffic. "Seven burners deployed, and we have a fire," one officer reported at 4:16 p.m. (7:16 p.m. ET).

Five minutes later, a single gunshot was reported from inside the house. A senior officer ordered units around the cabin, "Stand by. Maintain your discipline." About a minute after that, officers reported ammunition exploding inside.

Sounds like the teargas caught the place on fire and Dorner probably appeared trying to escape with a weapon...was forced back in by a barrage of bullets (because he was still armed). I'd assume they would have let him come out if he wasn't being a threat. When he realized he couldn't escape...he ended it.

He would have been captured if he came out of that cabin without a weapon in hand. If you look at Dorner's background, he never should have been hired as a Police Officer in the first place. The Police do not murder people. That statement is absurd as it was for the many who were puling for this Killer to get away. The officers that shot at those other trucks will probably be disciplined in one way or another.

The cops saying that did not have the authority to do it. The Sheriff ordered the tear gas.

And the Cops said the fire started by accident? bull****, here's the scanner audio of the police chatter

The fire was started when deputies shot pyrotechnic tear gas into the cabin. That recording was way before the fire started. Maybe this should be considered being carried on in the It's a Conspiracy Section" Regardless of how the fire started , if Dorner came out without a weapon he would be alive today. He took the cowards way out and shot himself. This guy killed how many people? He had 50 names in his manifesto.

Conspiracy?

you still think this is a conspiracy?they NEVER planned on taking him alive! the new rule of law.. there is no law. Damn LAPD went around and shot a hispanic woman and her mother delivering newspapers. Just flatout hosed her vehicle.

You can't tell who is saying that. It very well could be a bystander. The LAPD were not in charge of this once he made it into San Bernardino County. They all were gathered some distance away from the cabin.

Where does it say that?

exactly. just another case of a lethargic mentallity

lethargic

1.

tired: physically slow and mentally dull as a result of tiredness, disease, or drugs

2.

causing lethargy: causing a state of physical slowness and mental dullness

sorry, but having used flashbangs and CS gas in the military, no, it was purposely set. ahem.. do YOU remember Waco? here like waco, they ushered the press away and torched the hell out of the place

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

This was nothing like Waco. I also used such devices as a Police Officer (not in CA) They can and sometimes do start fires especially in a cable surrounded by dry fir trees. You can believe what you will but there is no way that the Sheriff would have ordered this cabin burned. The FBI was onsite for God's Sake. Oh and FYI, I am not lethargic. :shifty:

Where does it say that?

i meant where does it says that the 'burn the house down' part was way before it actually burned? On the recordings, we hear a officer having a clear view into the cabin, close enough to see blood splatter (meaning dorner was hit) right after that the order was given to burn the place and confirmed that flames were started.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
